Quick answer
What does Citywide's retail cleaning in SoHo include?
Citywide Maintenance Services cleans flagship stores, luxury boutiques and showrooms across SoHo and NoLita, typically before opening or overnight. A standard scope covers sales-floor floors, display and storefront glass, fitting rooms, stockrooms, restrooms and back offices, with periodic stone and hard floor care, carpet cleaning and exterior window washing. Work is carried out by bonded, insured, background-checked Citywide employees.
Cleaning for the cast-iron district
SoHo’s retail streets run through one of the city’s best-known historic districts: cast-iron facades, tall display windows and loft floors above ground-floor stores. Broadway carries large flagships, while Prince, Spring, Greene, Mercer and Wooster Streets hold luxury boutiques, design stores and brand showrooms. East of Lafayette, NoLita’s smaller boutiques line Mulberry, Mott and Elizabeth Streets.
These stores are built to be looked at. Shoppers judge them by the glass, the floor and the fitting room, often within seconds, and on weekends the foot traffic is heavy from opening to close. That makes the cleaning that happens before the doors open as important as anything the store does during the day.

Cobblestones, sidewalk grime and winter salt
Several SoHo side streets still have Belgian block paving, and many sidewalks have old vault lights and loading platforms. Grit from those surfaces, plus street grime, rain and winter salt, is tracked straight onto pale stone and polished concrete sales floors. Entry mats and the first few feet inside the door take the worst of it.
A good SoHo scope plans for that: daily entry and floor attention before opening, storefront glass cleaned on both sides, and periodic machine scrubbing, polishing or sealing so salt and grit do not wear the finish. Citywide crews are available around the clock, so this work can be done overnight or early morning.
- Before-opening sales-floor cleaning
- Entry and walk-off mat care
- Inside and outside display glass
- Stone and concrete floor maintenance
Upper-floor offices, studios and freight access
Above the stores, SoHo’s loft floors hold brand offices, design studios, showrooms and agencies. These spaces need regular office cleaning and carpet cleaning, but access is often through a shared lobby, a small passenger elevator or an older freight elevator with set hours. We confirm those rules with the building before the first visit and schedule periodic floor work when the elevator and the space are both available.
A typical SoHo before-opening checklist

- Clean storefront and display glass, mirrors and showcases
- Dust fixtures, shelving and display surfaces
- Clean and reset fitting rooms
- Clean and restock restrooms
- Empty trash in stockroom, back office and cash wrap
- Remove salt and grit from entries and mats
